When Joe and Rachel met in a journalism class at Liberty University back in 2016, neither one of them thought they’d be planning a wedding together just two years later. If it wasn’t for that journalism class, they might not have met. However, without their mutual love for the New York Jets who knows where they’d be right now! From what started as strictly talking about the Jets, turned into so much more, as the two got to know each other and fell in love. They discovered they have much more in common, as their love for the Lord is what truly brought them closer together. Believe it or not, Joe drove down to Rachel’s family’s house for Thanksgiving before even going on their first date! Both Rachel and Joe really valued being able to spend both Thanksgiving and New Years together in 2017. In over a year of dating, Joe and Rachel became “pros” when it came to long-distance dating. While they are excited for that season in their lives to finally be over, they will always look back on the special times spent together. They’re both so incredibly excited to start this journey together and to celebrate with everyone they love!
